mohbadliveson:Northern Nigerians contribute nothing to Nigeria's economy except beggars and terrorists. |
Swagaa99:He has to go! |
Nonybb:Dangote is not Fulani , he is Hausa, a direct descendant of Dantata.. Nigeria must break Dangote's monopoly by supporting other refined oil and cement producers and not by destroying his business. It has been the NNPCL that has been known to import dirty fuel from Europe. |
Jovi10:Nigeria must be divided, it can never work united. Nigerians despise each other. |
Dcaliphate:Yes during SAP and in 2022 during the change in the Naira. |
Jovi10:The Igbo's are justified in staying out of the protest. Let the North protest , the the SW protest separately, |
Trustyourself:Osinbanjo was finished when he failed to question Buhari's corrupt tradermoni policies. APC was done after 8 years of the Buhari government with no evidence of economic progress except a large debt and high level of regional insecurity. Osinbanjo was instrumental in the trader Moni debacle and was the leader of the FEC. APC was designed to steal, and it doesn't matter who led the party; the result will be the same as it is today. Obedient is an Igbo-led movement whose results are based on empowering Peter Obi's presidential ambitions as an Igbo president. The behaviour of the Obidients across social media is disgusting and PO's past conduct as former VP to Atiku and chairman of one of Abacha task force. Leaves me to question his political judgment. I would rather Nigeria return to its regional political boundary to a bottom-to-top political system and let's have some regional autonomy that will ensure each region is responsible for the economic and political development; the almighty presidential system has been a complete and utter failure and designed by the Nigeria military to keep Nigeria united by any means necessary at the expense of economic development and social mobility. |
Trustyourself:There is nothing selective; the Obedient are tribalists. All I heard from Igbo online were insults against Yoruba, Fulani and Hausa. That Igbo's own Lagos, and so many insults. You can't expect the people that you insult to back your Igbo presidential candidate. I despise Tinubu and all that he stands for, but I will not support an arrogant Igbo candidate. |
Afonjatijati:What Soyinka stole? Please provide me with details. The same PO that you venerate was the chairman of the Lagos port task force under Abacha (a man who stole $5 billion), PO was Atiku's vice president in 2019 |
IduNaOba:All Nigerians are suffering because Tinubu. Tinubu must go! 2024 |
F22RAPTOR:Nigerians are desperate people. |
KEVIND:
|
SWriter:Nigeria has almost 9 years without a president. Buhari is the foundation of all Tinubu failure |

Arobaga:Is Tukur Buratai a Yoruba. If the Fulani attack Igbos they blame Yorubas, are you scared to confront your enemies the Igbos elite. |
babajero:The SW has always been for regional government, Afenifere chieftain to submit regional govt proposal to Tinubu Tinubu gets bill proposing return to regional govt Friday |
yemmit90:Where are the food importers going to find the dollars to import food? Once the food has been sold to Nigerians in Naira, will the importers be satisfied with holding the useless Naira? How will Nigeria afford the food when they lack industries to pay workers or generate income? One reason many companies are closing down is that Nigerians are too poor to pay for their products. Nigerians are just not prepared to buckle down and fix their country; food importation is the beginning of the end for Nigeria, as Adesina stated that Nigeria cannot import its way out of the food insecurity. Unless |
yemmit90:As long as the food is imported, hard currency will be required to finance importation, logistics, and storage. The food will always be expensive, and considering the potential world conflicts, access to imported food from Asia and South America will also be difficult. To be clear, Nigeria has to take loans to import food because the country is broke and lacks basic infrastructure. Once you open the door to food importation, the local industry will die just like the importation of textiles, and the second hard automobile destroyed the local textile and automobile industry. Nigeria’s food importation policy could destroy country’s agriculture, warns Akinwumi Adesina |
babajero:The S East played dirty politics when the Igbo-led NCNC decided to join forces with the NPC, the NPP coalition with the NPN in 1979, and the Peter Obi coalition with the Atiku PDP. The Igbo are just angry that they were not the political decision-makers today. H An Igbo man, Johnson Aguiyi-Ironsi, promulgated the now-infamous "Decree No. 34," which abrogated the country's federal structure in exchange for a unitary one. The Igbo should first point their fingers at themselves before blaming others. Regional government would benefit the SW more than any other region. |
EmeeNaka:That is a foolish statement because other regions have more unviable states; the Igbo should also have one. Why not fight for a return to the regional system of government with 6 or 8 regional governments with full economic autonomy? |
BeeBeeOoh:As if he speaks the truth. |
oluwaseyi0:Food prices are directly linked to insecurity across the country, such as the lack of mechanised farming and fertiliser. Food importation will not reduce the cost of food, and Nigeria will be too poor to afford the imported food. Nigeria needs better leaders than the rubbish in APC government. |
Tellmeastory:Igbo's should stop being jealous of Yoruba. |
fergie001:Seyi Makinde , Nigeria is not productive because the LG get nothing from FAAC, that's why the LG authorities are empty and have now been taken over by Bandits and militants. |
Sebastine1994:The IOC managed the operation of 100% of Nigeria's oil , 40% to IOC, 40% to Nigeria and 20% operation cost. |
Autodidact1:I am not suggesting it for Igbos. I am against any political alliance that has no ideology. The direction of travel is another mega political party made up of PDP, NNPP and LP to take on the APC |
Autodidact1:The truth is that Igbo political elites have a poor political strategy in the context of Nigeria's political system. For example, Tinubu set up ACN, and took physical control of Lagos resources to support his political ambition. In 2011, he joined forces with CPC to create APC. Peter Obi is now the presidential candidate of LP. He can muster between 6 and 10 million votes, but does he control LP? Can he arrange a merger between PDP and LP with the understanding that they will back PDP Atiku for 2027 and PDP will back PO for 2031 or vice versa? NB: I don't support Tinubu or APC , the are hopeless and corrupt and have virtually destroyed Nigeria. |
https://businessday.ng/analysis/article ... blameless/ The Igbo are not harmless and blameless BusinessDay Tochukwu Ezukanma At a wedding party in Washington DC, an Igbo DJ and a Yoruba band, alternately, entertained the guests. The beat and rhythm of the band’s music was Juju, but the lyrics were in English. The leader of the band attended the same church with the bride. So, on this exceptionally memorable day of the bride, he came, with his band, to celebrate with his sister in the Lord. The bride is of Igbo parentage but born in the United States of America. The gathering was predominately Igbo. At a point, the Master of Ceremony of the occasion, a crude Mbaise man, blurted: this is an Igbo wedding and we do not want a Yoruba band here; he ordered the band to leave. Flustered and dispirited, the band members started packing their musical instruments. I went over to the band leader, and asked him not to feel too bad for this is the Nigerian reality: ethnic diversity laced with tribalism. I told him that I, like some other guests, was totally indifferent to the ethnic makeup of the band playing. And that some other guests may have been offended by the presence of a Yoruba band but could tolerate it, and then, there were others, like the MC that could not tolerate it. Similarly, if this were a Yoruba wedding, and an Igbo band played, some Yoruba may not mind, some will mind but stomach it, and others will not tolerate it, and may insist on its departure. While there is strength and virility in Nigerian diversity, it is inevitably associated with that pesky, exasperating albatross: tribalism. To varying degrees, all the major tribes of Nigeria are guilty of tribalism. As the Nigerian information minister (during the civil war), Anthony Enahoro, denounced Igbo hegemony; he accused the Igbo of having boasted of dominating Nigeria and the entire Africa. To me, his statement was inconceivable; I could not imagine that the Igbo were ever that boastful. However, on further research, I found his statement factual. In 1945, Daddy Onyeama, at an Igbo Union meeting, said that the Igbo will not only dominate Nigeria but the whole of Africa. In 1949, Nnamdi Azikiwe said that the gods of the Igbo that have given them the domination of Nigeria will also give them the domination of Africa. That was verbal flamboyance that must have hurt the feelings and wounded the pride of other ethnic groups of Nigeria. Interestingly, although the Igbo made conceited statements that insulted other peoples’ sensibilities, they lament tactless blusters by other Nigerians that piqued the Igbo. For example, they were unsettled by a statement attributed to the Suarduna of Sokoto, Ahmadu Bello, which said: it was the British that interrupted our (Hausa/Fulani) jihad. When the British leaves, we will continue our jihad to the south, and ultimately, dip the Koran into the Atlantic Ocean. Both the Igbo and Hausa/Fulani rodomontade were culpable of arrogance, insensitivity and thoughtlessness. They were overconfident and indiscreet statements that bruised the insensitivity and injured the pride of others. The Igbo leaders talked about domination in business, education and the professions, as dictated by enviable Igbo cultural skills. The Hausa/Fulani leader talked about religious domination, as determined by the jihadist unhinged murderousness and proselytizing barbarity. Rattled by the outcomes of the January 1966 coup, the decimated the Hausa/Fulani leadership and a power shift from the Hausa/Fulani to the Igbo, the Hausa/Fulani unleashed carnage against the Igbo; they murdered thousands of Igbo. The Igbo ran to their home region and declared their own independent state of Biafra. Biafra was a reckless and impetuous enterprise that had no chance of success. As Biafra, inescapably, faltered, and tethered towards a collapse, the Igbo needed someone to blame. They sought and found scapegoats in the “sabotaging” and “back-stabbing” minorities of Biafra. They mass-murdered the minority peoples of Biafra, killing thousands of them. Presently, most Igbo are angry, bitter and feel persecuted by other Nigerians and every Nigerian government and its policies. For example, although, since 1999, no Igbo politician has made a serious run for the presidency, many Igbo already believe that there is a conspiracy amongst other peoples of Nigeria against an Igbo presidency. Although, most heterogeneous countries of the world have quota system, in one form or another, the Igbo consider quota system in university admission an anti-Igbo policy. That this is a national issue (with advantages and disadvantages) that, also, adversely affects the Yoruba, Edo and all southerners, are facts the Igbo do not want to get in their way. And incredibly, many Igbo think that the Fulani herdsmen, despite their ravages of communities in Benue, Kaduna, etc are primarily targeting the Igbo, and that their attacks on none Igbo communities are just ploys to give an orchestrated anti-Igbo onslaught a coloration of a national problem. Clinging to the lies we were fed in Biafra, we believe that we are a blameless and harmless people surrounded, hated and victimized by murderous and vengeful peoples of Nigeria. And, as such, our only saving grace is in secession. It is this groundless belief that is fuelling the neo-Biafran lunacy and the muddled enthusiasm for it among many Igbo youths. The renowned American diplomat, John Galbraith, once wrote that, “Every human endeavor is geared towards the acquisition of power and glory”. Power, in this context, is protean; it includes political power, the power of a teacher over his students, a wife, over her husband’s patience and bank account and a toddler, over the mother’s time and mood. Essentially, we are all driven by the same basic interests – power and glory. Secondly, no one is really angelic or totally demonic. In their song, Ebony and Ivory, Paul McCarthy and Steve Wonder sang, “There is good and bad in everyone”. Like any other group of humanity, the Igbo have their strengths and weakness, with the capacity for both good and bad. Like other major ethnic groups of Nigeria, the Igbo, have, in the quest for power and glory, been insensitive and arrogant, exploitative and inconsiderate, and vicious and murderous. And, like the Hausa/Fulani, we have massacred, in thousands, those that stood in the way of our political ambitions. The Igbo desperately need to appreciate that they are not blameless and harmless, and that the other peoples of Nigeria are not a band of the vengeful and murderous united in a common plot to annihilate the Igbo. This will enable us to value the good in other Nigerians, and thus, resolve to live in peace, and forge a common future, with them in a united Nigeria. Tochukwu Ezukanma |
